Among all people* the prleata of old got the Mon’a share. The old Teutons gave the spoils of war and of the chase. Roman knights yielded their most beautiful slates. The Christian era somewhat modified the custom, but still It was a day of robbery by priests and monarch*, and New Year’s day rather than Christmas was the day for the exchange of gifts. The old Hour- bon kings looked to It to bate their treasuries replenished then, and woe to the baron who did not glte generously. * | *' In fact, thyy were denounced by r Yankee neighbors ns a "godless v,” but It Is now plain, that they d their homes and families, they When Peter Stuytenant came to New Amsterdam as governor In 104". he was quickly dubbed “Old Hilverleg” because , he was a veteran who had given a leg to the cause of his country and replaced It with a substantial wooden one bound with silver.

H Manldln, the State Sena tor from Hampton County, died on tbe 20th Inst., after an illnsaa extending over a month, resulting from a compli cation of typhoid fever and kidney trouble. Major Mauldin was one of the most energetic business men in the State of kmth Carolina, He was the sole owner of the Hamptlon and Branchvllle rail road and had large interesta In the sec- < ;lon of the State in which he resided. He waa the father of the town of Hamp ton, having done the work necessary to securing the location of the court house at that point when the county of Hamp ton was formed. He was a gallant Con- fede ate soldier known among his com rades as the “ fighting quartermaster ” pf the famous Hampton Legion. He was a strong man, an earnest man, and was generally beloved by those who r him. Duri' g his illness many in qulries bare poured into his home from people all over this and other State*.. * SKETCH OF HIS LIFE William H. Manldln was 63 years of age He was born in Williamston, An derson county, and came of the well JTnown Ma-lain family. He was a son of the Raw B. Frank Mauldin. His mother Is'still living and now resides in Anderson. He had two brothers, one of whom died a yeai ago. The other, Mr. B. F. Manldln, is now the cashier of Prof. C. M. Conner, of Clemsou College, has contributed the following article to the Southern Farm Magazine: Stock-raising in South Carolina will increase rapidly within the next few years. Formerly the want of a market close at hand has had some effect on the profits to be derived therefrom, especially in tho line of dairy farming. But the cotton factories, which are rapidly increasing in the South, furnish employment to a large number ol men wbo by force of circumstances must buy their milk and butter, thus open- lug a market for dairy products a& well as beef. Until the last few years there has been a prejudice against Southern cattle in the Northern markets^ but this is being overcome by the introduc tion of better bjood. The stockmen of the West have made a great deal o> money by raising cattle and shipping to ihe corn belt to be finished for the market. South Carolina may soon be able to^compete with the West in this line. It is true that we have no broad prairies covered with . natural grasses for grazing, but the hills of the up country may be made to produce ex cellent pasture the year round.
